Behind the Curtain: ORL Art Acquisition Program

By Katherine McConnell | February 4, 2014

For the first half of freshman year, Tyler Rivera ’16 refused to work in French Hall’s study room. Not only was it a tiny, humid alcove squeezed next to the laundry room in a dormitory basement, but its walls were bland. When he walked by the room in the spring, however, it had gone through a transformation. Three large student paintings adorned the walls, artwork which brightened up the study space and “made it feel homely,” Rivera said. For the first time, Rivera felt invited to study. The artwork was installed by the Office of Residential Life, which has worked with the Class of 1960 since 1991 to purchase art from graduating studio art majors, rejuvenating study rooms and living areas. The program installed 19 pieces around campus in 2013.
